International Summer School "Soil-Borne Greenhouse Gases: From Field Data to Publication"


-

Vienna, Austria

The International Summer School "Soil-Borne Greenhouse Gases: From Field Data to Publication" takes place from August 30 to September 05, 2015 in and around Vienna, Austria. FiBL is part of of the organizing committee.

Scientific Outline

This summer school will focus on the measurement and modelling of greenhouse gas (GHG) exchange between soil, plants and the atmosphere as required for process-oriented studies as well as for field- or landscape level GHG budgets. The course will address the various challenges associated with the widely used closed chamber measurement systems with respect to data quality, analysis and up-scaling.

Combining lectures, hands-on exercises, discussions and excursions, acknowledged experts will provide training on the following topics:

  • Soil-borne greenhouse gases (CO2, N2O, CH4): research objectives, measurement methods, and relevant environmental factors
  • Error sources associated with gas flux measurements and ongoing standardization efforts within the German Soil Science Society (DBG)
  • Data management: Preparation, handling, storage, and open-access publication of data
  • Flux rate calculation: Introduction, theory and hands-on practical exercises
  • Methods for data gap-filling for i) N2O and CH4 and ii) CO2 (incl. interpolation and empirical models)
  • Methods for the statistical analysis of gas flux data as well as of relevant environmental parameters and management data methods accounting for inherent spatial and temporal variability
